They are just on another level. One podcast I was listening to and it was another pro training with Ronnie and they were doing T bar rows. They asked about ROM and he just said no you just get into a groove on the reps and rep it out. Sets of 20-30. Many. Many. Sets. I wish I could remember who it was but you made the point they are attuned to their bodies and they know what works best for them. I think that’s often missed

We all know about macronutrients by now: Protein, Carbs, Fats. But micronutrients are just as, if not more, important. They play a massive role in everything from energy production to recovery, immune function, and overall longevity. Here’s why they matter: 1. Energy Production & Metabolism •B Vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12) help convert food into energy and support brain function. •Food Example: Beef, eggs, and whole grains. 2. Muscle Function & Recovery •Magnesium aids muscle relaxation, prevents cramps, and supports nervous system function. •Food Example: Pumpkin seeds, spinach, and dark chocolate. •Potassium helps regulate fluid balance and prevent muscle fatigue. •Food Example: Bananas, potatoes, and avocados. 3. Immune Function & Inflammation Control •Vitamin C boosts immunity, helps collagen production, and supports recovery. •Food Example: Oranges, bell peppers, and strawberries. •Zinc is crucial for wound healing, immune defense, and testosterone production. •Food Example: Oysters, beef, and chickpeas. 4. Bone Health & Structural Integrity •Calcium & Vitamin D are essential for strong bones and preventing stress fractures. •Food Example: Greek yogurt (calcium), salmon (vitamin D). •Vitamin K helps with calcium absorption and bone density. •Food Example: Kale, broccoli, and natto. 5. Antioxidant & Cellular Protection •Vitamin A supports vision, skin health, and immune function. •Food Example: Sweet potatoes, carrots, and liver. •Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage. •Food Example: Almonds, sunflower seeds, and spinach. 6. Hormonal Balance & Brain Function •Omega-3 Fatty Acids reduce inflammation, improve cognitive function, and support heart health. •Food Example: Salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds. •Selenium plays a key role in thyroid function and immune health. •Food Example: Brazil nuts, tuna, and eggs. 7. Gut Health & Digestion •Fiber keeps digestion smooth and supports a healthy gut microbiome. •Food Example: Oats, beans, and berries. •Probiotics help maintain gut bacteria balance, improving digestion and immune function. •Food Example: Greek yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut. Micronutrients may not get the same hype as macros, but they are critical for overall health, performance, and longevity. Prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods, and your body will thank you.
